F650GS Single Indicators running eratically

[RobA]

Hello Friends, Can anyone give me a clue if I have a problem. My 2004 F650GS Single indicators are flashing much quicker than usual, from time to time, and I also noticed when riding this week in the dark, that the dash lights were flickering slightly. Should I be worried? I have had a few starting problems recently but I thought I had resolved that. Any help appreciated. RobA.

My first reaction is that you have an intermittent bad live or earth to one of your indicators. This would cause the remaining light to flash rapidly - I'd take each bulb out in turn and look for corrosion/looseness in the fittings...

Also check the battery terminals are clean and tight. Known to cause all sorts of strange problems on these bikes.
